Christmas, Crochet and Colour....

I am now officially on HOLIDAY! Pheweeee....I am mentally exhausted. My work phone has been switched off and I have no intention of switching it back on until next year. It is cold outside; torrential rain at times with the occasional onslaught of hail... lets face it, perfect weather for crochet by the fire. I'm at a bit of a loss though, because I can't decide what to make... I am surrounded by people who do not share my crochet love and I was contemplating whether our home really needed another blanket, until I saw this image from Sarah Applebaum:

I got to thinking.... I live in a white house with a nice big white wall in the dining room and I have a penchant for crochet blankets.... hmmmmmmmmmm. This image has made me come to the conclusion that you can never have too many crochet blankets. Once every chair has one draped over it, there is always a crochet wall to consider!

So I will no doubt start another blanket over the holidays. Hot off the crochet hook is the cushion cover in the above photographs...

I couldn't decide if I wanted it to be the beginnings of a blanket, but the colours were not singing to me. The pattern is from The gentle art of knitting by Jane Brocket and can also be found in issue two of Mollie Makes magazine.

I would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas, full of peace, love and joy. May your Christmas wishes come true and thank you so very much for visiting my blog over the past year xxx
